what a great list of useful tools. I must ensure I have it to hand for some of our ongoing serach at CAPABLENZ for effective ways to link with our qualification candidates.
I did enjoy the two posts in the Facilitating online e-mail group,on making comments and encouraging comments. (Oh, does that sound like a press release????).gives me much food for thought, as is all this activity really.
